All fines and fees for current KPS students with a KPL library card are waived upon enrollment

Reduces potential barriers associated with registering for a library card, visiting KPL and accessing its collections

Automatic Enrollment

All KPS students are automatically enrolled at the beginning of the school year. For students grades 6-12, their student ID will also serve as their KPL library card. Elementary school students will receive a printed OneCard from KPL. Parents/caregivers have the opportunity to opt their child out of the program.

Kalamazoo Public Schools faculty and staff are also eligible for a OneCard and can use it both to enrich their curriculum as well as for personal use. Best of all, the OneCard program provides the more than 700 KPS-attending children who experience housing instability and lack a permanent address the opportunity to access all Kalamazoo Public Library has to offer.

“We have long appreciated our partnership with the Kalamazoo Public Library. We particularly appreciate this new joint initiative, which will give thousands of our children library cards that they would not otherwise have had and which will open up whole new worlds for our kids as a result.”
